I definitely agree with you that the changes were for the better, really - I most definitely like the fact that I can hold on to something I spent time in getting (whether that is by killing someone or getting a group together or whatever). I still think that having a piece of eq "destroyable" over time, it might help in quicker eq rotation and help in avoiding absolute powerhouses holding onto all the best eq the whole time. Since as Daev said, it's technically not doable, we'll just have to disagree :)
